I am doing a unit on each of the body systems. I have plenty of material to cover but would like to add a few more hands on activities and experiments. Anybody have any great ideas that have worked for you? THANKS!

Teachers like you shared their favorite math manipulatives. click below to read what they said.
My carpet is three years old. I've had a water only policy (except for class parties) in my room because of this (the previous carpet was over 20 years old before it got replaced).

I've had a water only policy (except for class parties) in my room because of this (the previous carpet was over 20 years old before it got replaced). This year every child will be eating breakfast in the classroom. I have desks. All children in the school will have a specified time when breakfast ends - if they don't have time to finish, too bad. Please let me know how you have managed food in your classroom.
How do I get their desktops clean in minimal time? I was thinking of having them design a construction paper placemat that I can laminate - but then again, where to keep it and how to clean them? Maybe that is more of a nuisance?
Do I have sponges ready for kids that have sticky syrupy desks? Then again, sponges spread germs/bacteria.
I have a sink in the corner that only has cold water. Do I have them wash their hands after they eat? Do I have wet wipes available? Hand sanitizer?
When our time is cut off, we are expected to be teaching.
And more questions. What about table manners? What rules do I need to lay down on day one?
What about getting out of seats to clean up? Do I have kids ask for permission, have them get up as soon as they are done, or have a child in charge to bring a trash can around?
Should I get a mini carpet shampooer? Our carpets get shampooed once during summer, and that is all. What about some sort of vacuum sweeper? We have no budget for this sort of item, so of course this will be my expense, but if it's needed, I'll get them after my first couple of paychecks (looking for something with value for the dollar - not cheap and break in the first year, but not high end either).
My first minute of my first day with kids will be this new breakfast thing. I'm a bit nervous about setting the tone this way. What do I do with the parents that want to talk to me? Tell them that they need to wait until after breakfast?
Any advice you can give me about any of this will be helpful.

Details: 26 teachers/classrooms exchange tongue twisters for each letter of the alphabet by snail mail. There's the possiblity of a tech component to the project (as yet not organized).
Each teacher chooses one letter of the alphabet to write a tongue twister for. An illustrated version of the tongue twister is mailed to each classroom in the exchange by November 1, 2012. Your tongue twister should not be larger than 8 1/2 x 11" because most teachers are placing the collected tongue twisters in a binder or book. It is optional, but recommended that you include sheet with information about your classroom, school, city or state.
All grade levels welcome and more than one teacher or classroom from a school are welcome.
We currently have a, e, i, k, l, n, o q, u, v, w, x, y, z available.
It is necessary that you communicate details about yourself before your membership in the WIKI will be accepted. My e-mail is [email removed]

Does it matter if I write guided reading level on front of each book or back? What do you do?
